Luke Fourniotis, a participant on “Married At First Sight,” has shared his thoughts on the surprising development concerning his fellow cast member, Brook Crompton, who recently revealed she is expecting a child with her ex-partner.
This week, the 27-year-old model announced her pregnancy, which has sparked discussions among her co-stars. Luke, who is matched with Melissa Akbay on the reality show, mentioned that there were subtle hints during filming that Brook might have already been pregnant.
Reflecting on the situation, Luke confessed that he was initially unaware of Brook’s pregnancy. However, in hindsight, he recognizes there were signs that could have pointed to her condition while they were on set.
In an interview with 2Day Breakfast hosts Nathan Roye and Emma Chow, Luke expressed his mixed feelings, stating, “I’d like to give her the benefit of the doubt and say no, but I don’t know.”
He further remarked on the timeline, recalling, “It wasn’t that long between the end of filming and now. We wrapped ‘MAFS’ in October, maybe,” alluding to the noticeable size of Brook’s baby bump.
Luke added that Brook frequently slipped away from the set, complaining of feeling unwell.Â

‘She did need some air, yeah maybe it might have been morning sickness,’ he theorised, but added that he was ‘having a joke’.
It comes after Chris Nield spoke out after it was confirmed his TV bride Brook is back with her ex-boyfriend – just days after Daily Mail broke the bombshell story.
The 31-year-old Australian footballer and construction supervisor, who was paired with Brook during filming, sat down for an unfiltered chat as he attempted to make sense of the twist that has left viewers stunned and cast members vindicated.
And while Chris insists he has ‘no ill wishes’ towards Brook, he admits the signs were there from the very beginning.
The relationship scandal erupted last week when Daily Mail revealed Brook had quietly reconnected with her ex, Harry, with footage obtained by Daily Mail showing the pair kissing and cuddling while decorating a Christmas tree in October, just weeks after her on-screen marriage to Chris imploded off-camera.
It was the moment that confirmed what many on set had allegedly been whispering all along – and now Chris is making it clear he believes Brook was never fully available.
‘I just don’t think she was in the right place for a new relationship to form,’ Chris said back in November.
‘Obviously finding out during the show that she’d slept with her ex two days before we actually got married… looking at it now, I’m just feeling like if she was doing that, she wasn’t ready.’
The 27-year-old model this week announced that she’s heavily pregnant, and Luke (pictured), who is paired with wife Melissa Akbay on the show, says there were signs that Brook was already expecting while filming the show

Chris said the fallout made more sense once he saw Brook had moved back into her old life soon after filming wrapped.
The groom claimed Brook ‘packed her bags and threatened to walk out multiple times’ during filming, saying the intense production environment pushed them both to the brink.
Now that Brook is back with her ex, Chris believes her new relationship has made any contact impossible.
‘It’d be strange to let that relationship or friendship be there,’Â he said.
Chris also claimed Brook’s boyfriend may not want her to have ‘anything to do with it’ – referring to the show and the media circus still unfolding around the cast.
It comes after Daily Mail revealed last week that Brook is pregnant, after she was spotted in Brisbane appearing visibly expecting.
